STOCKHOLM, AUG. 30.—His Royal Majesty has received the following report from Count WaCk meister " In consequence of the enemy having, on the' 19th instant vigorously attacked my advanced parties near Silva!' on the road of Umea, I judged it neces sary to reinforce them - with fresh troops, and the enemy was thrice repulsed ; but soon after the Rus , sians, who occupied a' very advantageous position, commenced a tremendous cannonade and musket fire, which did so much execution among our troops, that the severe loss they sustained in killed and• wounded induced me to order General-Adjutant La gerbring, who commanded that part of our army, to retreat by the bridge Which was in his rear, after five hours uninterrupted fighting. As soon as th'ee troops-were under the guns of my batteries, they •so successively kept up a % . vellc-Oiredted that the enecny's'ficewas "silenced for a "wholehOur.' but the ,enemy's vast superiority in infantly'arid thas seurs enabled him to force- his passage across the river, and to form a violent attack on my left wing, which was at first repUlsed in the most gallant man ner; but being considerably reinforced, 'he eoin pelled our troops to Lill back. I therefore took op a position, especially with that part of the army which had not yet been engaged, my right wing being sup"- ported by Sifvar, and my left by a wood"; in the centre a battery of six-pounders was formed on •an advantageous height, which commanded the whole ,field of battle. This position cost the enemy a great number of men, but did not prevent him forcing it both_in front and flank, and in particular, from turn ing my left flank. As it thus became impossible to maintain that position, I judged it necessary, on ac count of the severe loss which we had sustained, and the exhausted state of our troops, after seven hours hard fighting, to order the army to retreat, which was done with the greatest order. The enemy did not p ursue us with much vigour, excepting our left wing, part of Which was cut off, but fought its way through the. enemy's pursuing corps, and rejoined the army. The retreat was made in the direction of Djekneboda, this being the only place where I could draw up the army ,with any advantage. On my arrival in that position, I received certain intel ligence that the enemy ,was advancing in consider-_ able force to turn both my right and left wings, which wa‘i undoubtedly possible, and had• it been done, I should have found it a very arduous task to extricate myself without a very great loss. con sideration of these circumstances, I resolved not to e xpose the army to the dangers wide which it was threatened, and therefore diretted- the troops to con tinue the ordered retreat as'far as Ratan.. The_num bar of the Russians taken prisoners amounts to 120 men, two of whom are OftiCers. Our loss amounts to abotat 1200 in killed and wounded. ". COUNT, WACKMEISTER, " Commanderip Chief of the Army of the Coast." " Head-Quarters, Ratan, Aug. zr." By a report made by GneralWrede ? Commander In order to Stimulate and uphold the brave Ca= talans, in the heroic resistance which , they are every. where making to the enemy, 'and prineipaily in or der to dired their exertions to the preservation of the highly deserving Gerona, the Government lately by a Decree declared all the inhabitants of the pi incipa- • lity free from 0:0 personal tax, who should perform active service during the wer with France. The li mitations annexed to this a6t of grace, solemnly dis pensed to those a6tive patriots, were adapted to the situation of things and the intelligence received by the Junta. But the information since received, while it has filled all good citizens with Satisfadtiou and joy, has convinced the Junta that immunity should be general, as the merit and services have been general. In Catalonia there is , no differ ence of persons---all are soldiers.. In the villageS and high roads—in the cities occupied by the enemy _ —wherever there are Catalans, an interminable ha tred towards the French is manifeited, an inextiri= guishable zeal in behalf of the country, a loyalty to= • wards Ferdinand VII. which stands every trial:— The Mqnjuich Gerona, with three breaches, and assaulted five tithe's in - two hours, bravely forced the assailants to take shameful flight, leaving the ground ,covered with arms and. dead bodies. Provisions, ammunition, and French convoys fall into hands of the brave partizans; .and in the, cities and towns which the superiority of the French arms, or rather .• their treacherous perfidy, has put in •bondage, it ;A' the houses and - walls which are captive, and not the hearts of their inhabitants, which are everbursting forth in the most' energetic and heroic expressions of their feelings; No; the Valiant Catalans have not degenerated; the blood of their ancestors still runs in their veins; the ancient hatred of that de testable nation still survives, .which by the in justice and atrocities of succeeding times, is more deserved, the present race of Frenchmen being more pre-eminent in guilt than their forefathers.—A province which thus universally deserves well of the ,country, admits of no difference among its sons with respect to the immunities before granted, the more so in reference, to au impost even more odious than burthentsome in its effects; and which being per 'sonal, has more the aspe& of a degrading servitude to the unhappy who pay it, than a resource to the State which receives it. Moved by these just considerations, the Su preme Governing Junta of the Kingdom, who anxiously embrace every opportunity of relieving the people froth their burthens, and of rewarding the services they render their country, notwithstanding the urgent wants of the State, to which this ruinous war has reduced it; has resolved,- in the name of our Sovereign Don Ferdinand VII. to suppress at once this 'species of impost, releasing from that mark of servitude a Province, all of whose inha bitants are loyal, free, and brave. To this end it bas-decreed::— K' 1. That the personal contribution is abolished for ever in Catalonia. 2. That this decree be comthunicated to those whom it cAlcerns ; &c. • • .‘ The Marquis of Asroßai, " Seville, July zi, 5809." SIEGE OF GERONA' CONTINUED. GERONA, JULY 24.—Last night was repeated the attack on the mountain of ,Montjuich. Two hours and a half of firing from our batteries, and of dis, charges. from our musketry, did' . onsiderable da mage,. both to the enemy's works and to thews- sailants. 'the French , became desperate on their ill success, and renewed their exertions ; but all was in vain. The coolness of the garrison of this castle was admirable. • They- were not at ail dis 4 composed by the fire of the enemy, and returned to it the language of defiance. JULY 25.—The besiegers continue to , throw bombs into the city, and they regale us with a'sUt ficient 'profusion, but they have ceased with the grape shot. They take away a few of our lives, but this is a useful sacrifice to the honour of our coun try. Our defenders wish only to discharge their duly to their Sovereign. There is nothing to desire on the part of the garrison ; it much, more than. anz t savers all our hopes, and attra6ts general admiration. It surrounds its with an impenetrable wall.'- Those deeds, that out of the distria of Gerona would del serve 9ttention, succeed each other with so ritual rapidity, that they lose all their relative importance. It may be said of Gerona, that it is the school of va lour ; such are the models presented in its walls, tor the imitation of the Spaiiish people. AUG. I.—The admirable manner in which our artillery has been served has destroyed the tower of St. Louis, where the enemy bad its principal magi:. , zine of powder, and a great number of our opijo.; , nents were, on that occasion, killed. A few soli diers made a sally during the night, when the,Frend4- were asleep, and spiked &Nile. artillery on the other side the fosse, and then returned, ridiculing the beg-. ligence of the enemy. Others, to the number of only" four, set fire to their works, which contintied to burn during the *whole evening, and occasioned' discharges of musketry by the enemy, who were norant, of the cause of the calamity. . . We shall insert the dispatch received from the Governor of MoUtjuich, whiCh the folio :viva terms :-- " Under date of the 3tst ultimo incloaes the • •
